SCLF-8+

Overview

The SCLF-8+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates from DC to 8 MHz with a nominal cutoff frequency of 9.2 MHz and maintains a 50-ohm impedance. The component utilizes an 8-SMD flat lead package configuration. It is RoHS compliant and suitable for environments ranging from -45°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC architecture providing effective signal filtering in a compact form factor
• Surface-mount design optimized for automated PCB assembly processes
• Wide operating temperature range supporting diverse environmental conditions

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits requiring low-frequency passband
• Base station front-end filtering applications
• Test and measurement equipment input stages

Procurement Notes
